Am a fairly straight presenting dude, probably would not wear unless doing a costume or some such...
But if I was a chick, or had an occasion to dress as one, or suggest a dress to one...
... Well basically, the problem is that these seem to be ... extremely ornate, western themed ... sandals, as they don't actually fully cover the foot, but are instead multiple wide strips.
But if these were just similarly styled, low rise, heeled, true boots, I feel you could work these into anything from basically a sort of business formal dress atire, to a stablehand/bounty huntress sort of look.
Like uh:
This is a character from Trigun (the movie).
So with these boots, which have sort of a velvetish crimson and light brown / tan color pattern... maybe switch the pants to a moderate gray, boot cut, with either socks or leggings under them, a dsrker gary...
... go for a full, tucked shirt with that barely-salmon-almost-just-white color, maybe a not too busy, fairly muted paisley or plaid or pinstripe pattern , throw a navy to deep navg colored vest over that (either the vest or the shirt is patterned, never both)...
...pretty much keep the overcoat, change the gloves to match the color pattern of the boots (maybe that crimson velvet on the palms and inside of the fingers, tan leather on the back side of the hand... but the tan of the leather part of the gloves matches the color of the shoulder pad/pattern of the overcoat, not the main lighter color.
And i guess also go with a similarly crimson hair color, or maybe a natural hair color with crimson tips or highlights or something.
Something like that?
Sorry, haven't had a chance to go to a convention or cosplay event with a significant other in a while.
